How high humidity can impact air conditioners’ energy performance?
To combat stickier weather, air conditioners need to go from cooling machines to humidity gulpers.
The Global Cooling Efficiency Accelerator (GCEA) work was recently highlighted in a Washington Post article, “How to build an AC that will get the world through hotter summers.” This feature detailed how, as the planet gets hotter and humidity rises to dangerous levels, people are cranking down their thermostats, making air conditioners run longer and use more energy.
